Donate to Help the Hounds

Arizona Basset Hound Rescue would not exist without the donations of so many great supporters. Our dog-related expenses average $10,000 to $12,000 a month. Fundraisers and adoption fees do not cover it all, so monetary donations, becoming an Angel to a hound in need, planned giving and shopping to help the hounds are just a few of the ways you can help.

Monthly giving via your Checking Account
